We Care group to give supplies for area needy

December 24, 2013

The spirit of Christmas manifests itself in a more than plentiful variety of ways. In an effort to cherish those in need, the West Point We Care Committee will set up a supply giveaway at its headquarters in the city today.
Lasting from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., the organization will be dishing out free goodies at its office building located at 826 Highway 45 Alt. N.. However, it will not be a simple matter of giving supplies away to individuals which have not been thoroughly vetted as actually needing assistance, according to We Care Committee Director Luezarah “Lou” Robinson. Interested persons will be required to fill out a brief application which measures just how crucial the free supplies will be to each person.
“When (people come in), we try to take applications and pass them out until they’re all gone,” said Robinson. “We want to give it out to the needy.”
